For those of you who love to draw, then Zentangle is perfect for you!
First, start off by collecting a few pieces of paper, (incase you LOVE to do this).
Then, draw (with a pencil) another of the shape of your paper inside it. For example, if you had a square piece of paper, draw another square inside of it, just inside the border.
After that, divide the inside square into as many sections as you want. They can be as big as you want, curvy as you want, any shape you want.
Finally, you draw a DIFFERENT design in every section. You could do x's, lines, circles, they can be ANYTHING you want! You also don't use any crayons. Zentangles are NEVER colored. But you CAN shade in some spots if you want.
So, this is how you make a Zentangle! I hope you like making them!
